Did You Know This Fact About Incident Reporting?

In Australia, employers are legally required to report specific incidents and workplace injuries under the Work Health and Safety Act 2011 (WHS Act). Notably, fatalities, serious injuries, and dangerous incidents must be reported to Safe Work Australia or the relevant state or territory authority within 48 hours. Failure to comply can result in significant penalties for businesses. A reported workplace incident can help identify hazards and prevent future accidents, promoting a safer workplace environment. This proactive approach is part of Australia’s commitment to improving workplace safety standards and reducing workplace injuries.
